I sewed it up first but didn’t like how messy the stitches looked in this beautiful trim that Dana gave him for helping out at Alt...even when I lengthened my stitch. Fabric glue was the perfect solution.

I think I have a new love for it. Thanks to my friend Michelle for convincing me to try it.

To keep my hands busy I’ve also been learning to braid my hair. Sounds weird…but I am totally lame at this skill.

I love all the pretty hairstyles I see on pinterest but I just can’t braid like that.

I figure it’s like any skill though right? You just have to practice.

So, while I watch TV, while I wait for Reid to finish his lunch, anytime I get bored…which has been a lot lately…I braid. And my belly doesn’t get in the way, which is a bonus. 🙂

Speaking of bellies getting in the way. Sewing can be quite a trick with this precious lump on my lap, but I’ve even done a bit of that lately…

While sewing up some Easter clothes and accessories, I came up with this tunic/top out of the left over fabric.

I’m going to tweak it a little more, and add a lot more color to it for a sequel series coming this June. Wink wink. Yeah…I’m pretty dang excited.

Not that I expect you to share…but did you think of a name yet? I'm 39 weeks today..and we still have no girl name either. I was totally immursed in people's ideas for you..so thanks for asking for suggestions. 🙂

Such a cute little belly! I hear ya with the pregnancy thing. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow, losing energy and comfort quickly and am a little too excited to move on to the next stage of life. I loved your nesting series (even though I am having a boy… still a ton a fun ideas!) Good luck this last week or two (or hopefully day or two!)

Oh you look great! And those last few weeks and days are so hard! Glad you got everything finished. I'm impressed that you are still sewing at this point. I couldn't sit for very long at the machine without killing my back, my sciatic nerve, my everything…

Soooo in love with your little tunic top. And I made a few little bottom covers with Dana's pattern last year

Oh wow, I'm in the same boat… same week in fact, and having the same feeling, I want to meet her already! Is everyone you pass asking when you're having her already? I love the tunic you came up with, so perfect for the warm weather ahead! Good luck in the next few weeks!

oooh pretty all around. I totally didn't learn how to braid properly until I had little girls! I could do a regular Pocahontas Braid or pigtail braids or whatever, but no french or fancy or anything. Practise makes perfect though, and now I can whip up fancy and/or boho do's for Nicole in less time than it takes to do the brushing part of hairstyling. The best thing about braids on

oh my goodness delia! i am praying for speedy days ahead. i think when i reached the point you're at now i had been crying for 3 weeks begging to be done. hahaha! yes i am pathetic. you look cute. i'm thinking good thoughts…. 🙂
